Your Lie in April 2 moves from meeting Kaori to the pressure of returning to competitive music. Kosei has been drawn back toward the piano, but that invitation does not erase the circumstances of his withdrawal. Read the first volume before this one: the buying reason here is to follow what the invitation demands of him. It is a continuation of an unsettled return, rather than a fresh introduction to the musicians.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Kaori's persistence changes what Kosei is being asked to do. Staying away from music is no longer an unchallenged arrangement, yet agreeing to return cannot prove that he is ready for public performance. The distinction matters because a story about recovery can too easily treat somebody else's enthusiasm as sufficient treatment. Kodansha frames the next step as a pressure test, leaving his ability to perform in doubt. The tension comes from the gap between being brought back into competition and feeling able to take part. Kaori can reopen the door; the demands waiting behind it still belong to Kosei.
